Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?' So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."

One day four men brought a crippled man to Jesus,
Still and lifeless, he lay upon his bed;
He had not moved since he was just a baby,
Still he longed to become a normal man.

Now we don’t know much about the men that carried,
The corners of his tattered bed that day;
But if we may create an illustration,
We’ll see what these men might have had to say.

Suppose that first man said, “I hate to doubt it,
For Jesus touched my eyes when I was blind;
He made me see and there’s no doubt about it,
But this man’s needs are more serious than mine”.

Suppose that second man said, “No need to bother,
This man’s condition will remain the same;
Though Jesus touched my hand when it was withered,
I don’t believe he can heal a man so lame”.

Suppose that third man said, “I hate to question,
But no one here is more sceptical than me;
Though Jesus cleansed me when I was a leper,
This helpless man will never walk you see.”.

Then every eye was turned to the fourth man,
To see how he might criticize and doubt;
But all three men were startled with amazement,
When that fourth man stopped and said his name out loud.

He said "My name is Lazarus, could I testify?
My name is Lazarus, it's good to be alive!
When I in chains of death was bound,
This man named Jesus called me out!
If you think your little problem is too big for Him to solve,
Take it from the one who’s heard the mighty voice of God,
A living testimony of His death-defying touch;
My name is LAZARUS!!"

“My name is Lazarus, could I testify?

Take it from the one who’s heard the mighty voice of God,
A living testimony of His death-defying touch;
My name is LAZARUS!!"
